Weekly Updates

• Originally, there was a Goal-writing Meeting scheduled for this Sunday (Nov. 22nd).  This meeting was intended to finish the goal-writing process that was started a while back.  This meeting has been postponed until a later date.  With the holidays around the corner, it will be hard to get everybody there.  Therefore, it looks like this meeting will be in January at the earliest. 

• There will be no Sunday night class November 29th!

• The Red River Rake is Dec 6th.  Students will bring a change of clothes to church that day.  We'll eat lunch together and then we'll get to raking!  We need drivers this day!  The church van is not in good working condition so that will not be option.  This means we need extra help driving!  The area-wide at University CoC will follow the Rake and it will start at 530PM.  

• The next Bossier Kids Day Out is Saturday, Dec. 12th!  We need everyone's help!

• I am in the process of planning a Christmas Party.  The original date I had planned doesn't appear that it will work.  I am now looking at the 12th.  Hopefully, we can work it in!

Fall Retreat in review

You can text your favorite memory from Sky Ranch to 87884.  Include @wif12160 at the beginning of your message.



Sky Ranch was a blast!  We couldn't have asked for better weather!  Jerry and Dustin shared some awesome stories with us.  Our time around the bonfire was uplifting.  Capture the Flag lasted way too long!  The zipline was exciting.  And everyone was extra NICE!  If you missed it, don't let it happen again!

Service Credits

Remember!

I announced last night that
Service credits are required now for events and trips.  The first trip requiring service credits is Winterfest, January 15-17!  (You can sign-up here!)  2 Service Credits are required to attend.

This weekend is the Fall Festival.  Saturday, Nov. 7th, 1-4PM.
This will count as a Service Credit if you come help.

The Red River Rake (Dec. 6th) also counts as a credit.
AND
Bossier Kids Day Out (Dec. 12th) counts as a credit.

Yes, that's THREE opportunities to get 2 service credits.  The odds are in your favor!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Unity

I pray that the youth group has unity!  All of you participated in writing letters to the youth group tonight like Paul wrote letters to the churches.  You all shared your love for the group and what the group needs to work on.  I pray that we don't quickly forget these things!

Website Makeover

I just redid the site!  It's now hosted by blogger.  It's a lot easier to manage.  The blog was always on blogger which made things challenging sometimes.  Now it's all together.  Enjoy!

Any ideas?  Just let me know!
